Great support in the Madison & St. Clair (IL) Record newspapers for Avvo’s petition to the Illinois Supreme Court for attorney licensing and disciplinary records. From the editorial:

“Giving the list to Avvo would “lead to similar requests for this information from… other entities that wish to provide information regarding attorneys to the general public,” wrote ARDC attorney Rosalyn Kaplan in a brief opposing the company’s request.

And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?”

I was wondering the same thing. From the looks of the poll on the editorial page, over two-thirds of readers agree that the ARDC should release the information to Avvo.
